Effect of replacing native habitat for soybean cultivation on Pompilidae (Hymenoptera: Pompilioidea) and Noctuidae (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea) in the Amazon-Cerrado interface of Mato Grosso
habita loss, soya, wasps, moths
Brazil is currently the world's largest producer of soybeans, Mato Grosso is the state with the highest production and cultivated area. This scenario of big producer is presenting a challenge, given that this loss of native area for this production induces a loss of native biodiversity and consequently the provision of ecosystem services. The soybean is a crop highly dependent of these services and which are often provided by biodiversity agents that depend on presence, amount and quality of native habitat adjacent to crops. Due to scarcity of studies in Mato Grosso in this perspective, this dissertation has been subdivided in two chapters: 1) Effect of Native Habitat Replacement for soybean cultivation on the Pompilidae Assembly (Hymenoptera: Pompiloidea) in the Brazilian Amazon and Cerrado: where investigate the effect that loss of habitat had about this important wasps of native fauna; 2) Effect of landscape dynamics about the abundance and biomass of Noctuidae (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea) in soybean crops and native habitat adjacent in Mato Grosso Amazônia and Cerrado: in this chapter investigate as amount and quality of habitat affect the presence, abundance and biomass of these pest moths.
